| GM: | I'm going to make some assumptions about where the PCs end up. rb780nm had Sound of Stone in I26 attacking creatures in J27 and H27, but they're not in J27 and H27 but rather in J21 and H21. I'm going to assume Sound of Stone is in I22, since he can't move farther than that without taking at least one OA.
With Tyris, J23 works if he's doing Quick Lunge but he'd have to be in J22 if it's going to be an MBA as written, so I'll go with the latter. This isn't going to change the results of this round either way apart from a bit of minor positioning.
Also, feel free to narrate when you kill an enemy. That's why I've got the HP in the combat stat blocks. |

Tyris's blow fells the other bulky ant, but the second line of ants is ready to move up. The one on the right lunges at Zardi, its mandibles snapping. It fails to push him off the bridge, but manages to knock the big barbarian down. The second ant, seizing this opportunity rushes up and puts a painful bite on Zardi.[sblock=Enemy Actions]

Bridge Status 12/12[/sblock][sblock=Controlling Sven]Any PC can take a standard, move, or minor action to have an NPC perform an action of the same (or a lesser) type. E.g., if you want Sven to use use his crossbow, you spend a standard action. If you want him to move, you spend a move action. An NPC is limited to the usual number of actions each round (but those actions need not all be granted by the same PC). An NPC who has an immediate action can likewise only use it if a PC has an immediate action available to use on his/her behalf.
NPCs can take free actions and opportunity actions normally, without the direction of PCs. They are always considered to have their weapons in hand and don’t need to spend actions unsheathing them.
If Sven has used his crossbow and has any actions left he will, without prompting, use a minor action to reload. If he is out of range of any targets, and has not been given any orders this round, he will move so that he is in range.[/sblock][sblock=Sven]

[/sblock][sblock=Bridge Challenge!]The ants are trying to destroy the bridge. It is up to Our Heroes to stop them. If an ant spends two standard actions to attack the bridge, it will do one point of damage to the bridge. Our Heroes, in addition to killing ants, can repair the bridge by using the following skills/actions:
Spot the Weak Points
Nature 14 or Perception 14 (Minor action)
This does not directly help repair the bridge, but will provide a +2 bonus to the next check to repair the bridge.
Tie Off Loose Ends
Nature 14 or Thievery 14 (Minor action)
You must be adjacent to one of the sides of the bridge to perform this action.
Putting a knot in a frayed rope will keep the bridge standing a while longer, repairing 1 point of damage.
Hold it Together
Athletics 14 (Standard action)
You must be adjacent to one of the sides of the bridge to perform this action.
Grasping the broken strands, a feat of strength pulls them back, repairing 2 points of damage.
Instant Knot
Athletics 21 or Nature 21 (Minor action]
You must be adjacent to one of the sides of the bridge to perform this action.
Tie an ugly not, quicker than the eye can see, repairing 2 points of damage.
Get the Gang Involved
Bluff 14 or Intimidate 14 (Minor action)
Direct the cart drivers to help shore up the bridge supports.
This can only be done once for the upstream side of the bridge and once for the downstream side.
NB: the cart drivers are entirely virtual for this purpose, taking up no space and suffering no attacks. The action can not be done if an ant is adjacent to the post on the side where the cart drivers are going to work (G25 or K25).
When the bridge is down to half its damage capacity, it is easier to fall off the bridge.
When the bridge has taken 12 damage points, it collapses into the chasm.[/sblock][sblock=Falling off the Bridge]If forced movement would take you off the bridge, the following happens.
1) Roll to avoid being pushed over the edge as per normal. If the bridge has taken less than half its damage capacity, take a +5 bonus to this saving throw.
2) If you are pushed off the edge, make a DC 14 Athletics or Acrobatics roll to hang on. If you hang on, you are dangling from the bridge in the space into which you were pushed. As a move action, you can move up to 2 squares along the edge of the bridge, or you can climb back on as a move action. You grant Combat Advantage, and are at -5 to attacks while dangling.
If the bridge takes enough damage to break, everybody on the bridge must make a DC 14 Athletics or Acrobatics roll to hang on. Other things will happen then, which I will not go into detail on at the moment.
Anyone who does not hang on in either case, takes 2d10 falling damage from landing in the water, and is swept out of the fight.[/sblock][sblock=Enemy Stats]Please read the appropriate "combat stats" block(s) only when necessary to resolve attacks or OAs.
